GG and BGG imo, both express the moral dilemma most of us go thru trying to reconcile our angels and demons when presented with an ethical dilemma. Some times it’s morally necessary to do evil when the common good is at stake. It’s normal to have recriminations about performing an act of evil such as taking a life even if it’s in defense of yourself or others. Not feeling guilt will only lead down the path to immoral and antisocial behavior.

The rabbithole of the “moral dilemma” goes further than that for “GGG”, as the halo is enforcing constant “good behavior” upon someone that might be better off without it.
The “Good side” usually is totally unable to reflect on that, but this has given it a possible reason to reflect on it as well.

C ) Divide yourself in two sides, good good and good bad versions of you and skip all sin, guilty and blame because a high force of the cosmo is responsible and you killed him, and this compensate everything.

I would rate it PG13 for comic book violence and suggestive humor. To get an R rating it would have to show nudity, foul language, and graphic violence, and sexual situations. I like the strip as it stands. I believe the Brits would refer to it as “cheeky”. As much as I would like to see some of the female characters naked I think it would demean the strip and ruin the humor.

Just so you know, it is not killing that the Biblical commandment forbids. It is murder. “Kill” is just an inaccurate translation. Bible does permit things like death sentence or armed warfare. Assuming it is Bible from which Good Girl draws her morals from.

What will happen to Not-morally-neutral Girls now that the (alleged) cause of their separation has been killed?

OTOH, I’m a bit disappointed. I half hoped Mr Recurring Scientist would have a look at the Universe-Reboot-O-Meter and say to himself that the reboot was overdue. And then notice that it actually happened…

Well, see, GGG, technically BGG didn’t kill him, according to most theological mythos. All she did was discorporate him, send him back to his `home plane’. Traditionally, only God (by whatever name) Himself is able to fully un-make a soul…which He refuses to do, thus Lucifer being cast from Heaven instead of being un-made.

So, really, BGG didn’t do anything worse than…reclaiming the halo, so to speak. She’s a distinct and separate entity without the halo; what happens to her when the halo is present, hm? What happens to GG when BGG is out and about (usually, not in this arc, of course)? Does GG consider it killing or murder if a priest exorcises a demon?

As for the separation of GGG and BGG…I’m kinda hoping it’s permanent, as the two would play well off each other in terms of comedy. Easy enough to explain…GGG got an upgrade recently, and there’s only so much spiritual room, so to speak…but if souls/spirits can’t truly be destroyed, BGG had to go *somewhere* and this arc was the nearest convenient locus for such shenanigans. I’m assuming, of course, that God doesn’t want to work any harder than He has to.

On the other hand, part of GG’s allure is when BG comes out to play. So re-integration would be cool, too.
